Paul Davies was recently part of a panel discussion hosted by the New York Academy of Sciences titled "A Touch of Awe: Crafting Meaning from the Wonder of the Cosmos". Along with Paul, the event hosted panelists Ard Louis (theoretical physicist) and Lucianne Walkowicz (astrophysicist). The panel used their expertise to explain the state of modern cosmology and the nature of reality in order to examine the question of why we are here. If anyone is uniquely qualified to speculate on such matters, surely it is Paul.
